Snapmirror throttle

Fabian1993 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:18:42 GMT

Hi there,

does anyone have an Idea to schedule the global Snapmirror throttling?

Maybe one of us created a Powershell Template?

Thanks for help!

Regards

Fabian

Using SnapMirror global throttling

Starting with ONTAP 9.0, global network throttling is available for all SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers at a per-node level.

It is:

options -option-name replication.throttle.outgoing.max_kbs <amount>

If you want unlimited, replace <amount> with the word "unlimited"

Build two easy Scirpts and inserted into the Windows Task Scheduler..

Import-Module DataONTAP 
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "" -AsPlainText -Force 
$cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "admin",$password 
Connect-NcController  -Credential $cred -Vserver 
set-NcOption  -Name replication.throttle.enable -Value on


Import-Module DataONTAP 
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "" -AsPlainText -Force 
$cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList "admin",$password 
Connect-NcController  -Credential $cred -Vserver 
set-NcOption  -Name replication.throttle.enable -Value off
